"Didn't you tell me where your company is before? I saw that you haven't gone home yet so late, so I came to see you." Qin Zun walked slowly to her side.
"Did I tell you all this? Why don't I remember it?" Tonghua looked at Qin Zun with a puzzled look, his eyes showing dark circles.
Qin Zun felt very distressed when he saw this, but he had no choice. He knew that Tonghua was very stubborn and he couldn't convince her in this way.
He raised the takeaway box in his hand and looked at Tonghua with a smile: "Look what this is?"
"Wow, it's actually my favorite spicy chicken."
Tonghua put down the work in her hands with an excited look on her face and walked to Qin Zun.
"I bought it especially for you. It's not just these, there's also braised spareribs and beef brisket with potatoes."
"Oh my god, you bought all these? Thank you."
Tonghua felt it was incredible. These things were sold in different stores, and if one wanted to eat them, one had to go to the store in person to buy them. It was very troublesome to go to three different stores.
So even if Tonghua likes to eat these, she can't eat them often.
She was very touched that he took the trouble to bring her his favorite food.
Well, these things were bought by Qin Zun's driver Lao Liu, and he just waited downstairs in the company for half a day.
But he was a little embarrassed to tell the truth under such circumstances.
Tonghua took all the food to the tea room. She put the three dishes away one by one, only to find that there was only one serving of rice.
She was puzzled: "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I've already eaten." He looked at Tonghua eating with a smile on his face.
Tonghua's face is already chubby, and after eating, it looks even rounder, like a white and tender little hamster, very cute.
Suddenly he found that there was a grain of rice accidentally on Tonghua's face, and he couldn't help but take out a towel and wipe her face.
As soon as they touched, they were both shocked.
Their eyes met, and everything around them seemed to stop.
After a while, Qin Zun handed the towel to Tonghua and said with his head down, "Well, why don't you wipe it yourself."
Tonghua's face also turned red, and she took a tissue to wipe her face.
She continued to act as if nothing had happened and finished her meal, which was quite filling.
In order not to waste food, she could only try her best to finish all the meals, but the three dishes were quite large, and when she finished eating, she felt that her stomach had become bigger.
After finishing her meal, Tonghua stood up and prepared to continue working, but she almost fell down before she took a step.
In a flash, Qin Zun immediately hugged her waist, preventing her from falling.
But the fairy tale suddenly called out.
"oops!"
Qin Zun thought she had bumped into something, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
Seeing his nervous face, Tonghua felt a little embarrassed: "I'm not hurt anywhere. I just ate too much and can't walk anymore."
Ren Qinzun racked his brains but couldn't imagine this would be the answer.
He was stunned.
He said helplessly: "If you can't finish it, don't eat it. No one is forcing you to finish it all."
But Tonghua disagreed: "This is the first time you've come all this way to buy something for me, so of course I have to try to finish it. Besides, it would be a waste if I don't finish it."
Hearing this, Qin Zun regretted not telling her earlier that he didn't buy these things himself, but sent someone else to buy them.
Qin Zun slowly helped Tonghua to her workstation and said to her, "You are wrong about this."
"First, if you overeat and your body can't handle it, and you end up in the hospital, it's both uncomfortable and expensive. That would be a waste. And aren't you usually the most frugal person? Hospitalization isn't cheap. In serious cases, you might even need IV drips, which would delay your work for several days. Are you sure you can afford that?"
"Secondly, if you can't finish eating something, it's not considered a waste. For example, if you have excess water that you can't drink, you can just throw it away. It will evaporate, become clouds in the sky, and then fall as rain. If a person, or a wealthy person, asks her chef to prepare ten dishes for her at a meal, she won't be able to eat much with her stomach. The rest, perhaps even some, will go untouched and need to be thrown away. Then the discarded vegetables can be eaten by other poor and hungry people. Moreover, the extra vegetables she consumes every day are grown by ordinary people. So the people who grow the vegetables, raise the livestock, and buy the food for her all have jobs. Isn't that perfect?"
After listening to what he said, Tonghua understood that, indeed, for the same thing, different perspectives would lead to different conclusions.
And she discovered one thing, her thoughts were what a poor person would think, while Qin Zun was thinking from the perspective of a rich person.
But he is not a rich man, so it is useless to think about these things. On the contrary, if he really does this, he will go bankrupt soon.
Ordinary people cannot afford such extravagance.
After resting for a while, Tonghua felt much better.
She had to get back to work. After all, she didn't have much time left.
She turns on the computer and starts working.
She felt much better with someone by her side, accompanying her from time to time.
But based on the workload, she would probably have to stay up all night, and she couldn't have him accompany her while she worked, after all, he was also busy with work all day.
"Why don't you go back first, I still have a while to do this work."
She spoke to him in a soft voice.
"What I want to say is that although work is important, your health is more important. If you can't complete a project, just let it go. There will always be other opportunities."
Tonghua knew that he meant well, but she never liked to give up halfway. She would never give up until the end.
She said nothing, but gave Qin Zun a firm look.
The two wrestled with each other in this eye contact.
In the end, Qin Zun was defeated.
He had never seen such a desperate girl. All the women he had met before would retreat when they encountered problems, or ask others for help.
Tonghua was the first girl he had ever met who worked so hard.
He shouldn't look down on her just because she is a woman.
He is too narrow-minded.
"If you want to stay up all night, I'll keep you company."
He looked at the fairy tale with a determined look.
"This is my job. I don't want to involve you. I'm already very grateful that you come to deliver midnight snacks for me."
But Qin Zun was obviously unmoved. He couldn't go home with peace of mind and sleep as if nothing had happened.
He dared to swear that once he lay in bed, he thought about his newlywed wife still staying up late to work overtime because of him.
He definitely couldn't sleep. Even though people around him usually said he was a cold person, he couldn't be so indifferent.
If he still has any conscience.
